Ross, I have no doubt that the writer is being sincere and honest. I also think that the writer has access to people who most of us do not seek out.  I put a lot of credence in what was written.
  BUT  the question is how much is this person being used as an extension of the game which is already being played.  If you put yourself close to information sources you also open yourself up to receiving (and distributing) information which is not verifiable. 
  Secondly we see again that, as an extension of the game outlined by the poster, or in counter-point to it, long term believers are again in the market taking up the slack (read recent posts).  Not with the enthusiasm which they have previously done in situations like this, but still in there buying.
  So like many times in the past, we hear the 'shorter' story and see dedicated believers buying as the price falls.  Where would it fall but for a hand full of long term confirmed investors?  The truth is that the Market is waiting on this story; and would be willing to let the price drop into the .30's.  
  Just how far does one go in support of a major mainlined belief?  How much money on a good bet supported by very 'so so' releases and a lot of back-ground chatter?   I don't know.  I've made a fool out of myself many times with this play and I find myself buying into the chatter and the dropping price.  But I am hooked.  No way out for me. 
  Does Rory have the goods or not?  You yourself have pointed out all the reasons to let that question go unanswered.  All the dates are coming down to the wire.   But the stars have been in similar alignment before; and nothing.  Just some banal release and silence.
  Each of us has to wrestle with our own greed, fear and desperation on this one.  Some of us are quite desperate.  Losing here means a major set back, in fortune and self respect.  As a result what we do, and or say, is not particularly rational or logical. 
  What's my point?  Baring a real release that blows it open we are going to drift.  People are cleaning their closets of junk, and others are getting another fix of hope for their panicky souls.  The disgusted and the desperate and trading shares.  That's easy to see.  What is going on under that won't be known till the gates fly open and the horses charge over the turf, Or......  die waiting for release.
